200 TONS OF BAD LUCK

As an old-school Prog' fanatic It has been a particular mission of mine to try and source out some of the newer groups on the scene in recent weeks. I've come across many new bands - some I've found interesting - some unlistenable but Crippled Black Pheonix cut the mustard for me! There's a good air of Psychedelic/Space Rock/ whatever you want to call it on this record and has a very laid-back edge to some of the sections of the songs - think "no-man." A lot of the music is very reminiscent of early Pink-Floyd which is fine by me! I think its brilliant that some of these groups wear their influences on their sleeves and my word what a tribute! "Burnt Reynolds" (what a title) is a particular favourite of mine - I just love how the song builds from a slow start to an encompassing, yet highly emotive tide of synth and processed vocals - Looking forward to discovering more!
